Abstract
The assessment of of the recovery of commonly used materials from incinerator fly ash and bottom ash in Taiwan was presented. The partitioning of iron, aluminum, copper, zinc, cadmium. chromium and lead between bottom ash and fly ash was investigated in three large municipal solid waste (MSW) incinerators located in Taiwan. The material flux of metals that pass through MSW incinerators was estimated and the potential of metal recovery in MSW incinerators was assessed. The results show that iron and aluminum were the highest in concentration, copper, zinc, and lead were in the middle, and cadmium and chromium were the lowest.
